Yep, Brandon has been in constant contact with me. The reason why it takes so long LBC is because people are not sending their stock lights to him. He has to try and find them on eBay or get the people to order them and send them or direct ship from the eBay seller to him.

Personally this is what I did. After a few weeks of looking around we found some on eBay and he ordered them and I sent the cash. He has been in constant contact with me. However he does have a day job and a personal life. Certainly a set of lights are not going to be done over night. That's just impossible.

For instance, I know he was working on a WRX as well and that took a few days to even get things together and the car was in his garage. I can't speak for other people's experiences but mine has been 100% excellent so far for customer service.

Just so people know my setup:

Black housingsStock amber reflectorNo LEDS.Gat gun surrounds.Bi Xenon setup with 6000K HIDs.

Brandon and I communicate through BlackBerry Messenger and e-mail almost daily.

It took a week or two to get in my supplies (gat gun surrounds, lenses, bulbs, other materials). Then another couple weeks for us to find headlights on ebay because I needed to drive my car and couldn't ship mine). Then once the lights arrived Brandon started working on them. I told him explicitly to take his time with them so they turn out wonderful. I am in no rush for them, however I can't wait until they get in the car lol.

The plan with mine is to have them done when my turbo gear gets here so I can do everything at once.

As for my experiences so far: A+++

The time, skill and effort it takes to make these... especially one person doing it is a lot. Especially with the Altima lights.

I don't know if it's a Canadian thing or not but I find the members that had great success like Mehdi explained for Brandon to take his time. The more time he has the better the turn out. I knew from the get go that it was going to be months before you actually receive them. Maybe 3 weeks at the least IF you have everything ready to go. Factor in shipping time, etc.

Also things break in shipping. I've order other odds and ends that were packed very well and they still wound up here broken. I'm hoping Canada Post does a better job with my packages this time around than it has in the past.. even my rims that were packaged by 1010tires and sent through UPS still were dinged up a bit...

Anyways I'm not defending anyone or anything, I'm just explaining how it is based on my experience and I think it's completely fine.

Thus far it's been really good between Brandon and I. If anything, it's me who's been lacking in the communication department.

This takes time, should have been expected when people placed the orders. One by one they will get done.

BTW here is one of mine in progress:



Changed the surround, it looks great . Just needs a halo and cleanup then that one is done. Nothing fancy = win.

Patience is the key.

Brandon sent me more updated pics on BB Messenger:











I can't wait until they get here! :D

yea i followed this group buy since day 1. he honestly isnt look like a bad person whos trying to scam.just look at QR25's posts, i believe what hes saying is true. this is a time consuming project. i wouldnt do this if it is not local but this way i can drop it off and pick it up so its safer. i think u guys need to relax on this guy and let him do his job. i dont see anything he did wrong
